The CECA awards recognise the best Obra Social and financial education plans

The twelve awards highlight the work of those banks and foundations that have displayed a high degree of commitment to society and the most vulnerable groups in 2021

In a year as adverse as 2021, banks and foundations have displayed a firm commitment to society and the most vulnerable groups. In this scenario, with the social and economic life of citizens conditioned by the pandemic, Obra Social and financial education projects have been more necessary than ever.

To highlight the work of those organisations whose efforts have addressed the needs of the societies in which they operate, together with El Confidencial, we are hosting a new edition of the CECA Obra Social and Financial Education Awards Gala, which will feature Ona Carbonell, CECA's Obra Social and Financial Education ambassador, as master of ceremonies, together with Juan Carlos López, Head of Sustainability, Obra Social and Financial Education at CECA.

They will present the awards in the different categories and sub-categories, with the winners having been selected by a jury of experts made up of representatives from El Confidencial, Funcas and Lealtad Foundation.

In total, 12 awards will be presented. In the field of Obra Social, the categories are: social action, culture and heritage, sport and leisure, local development and job creation, education and research, and environment. Meanwhile, in the field of financial education, the categories are: children and young people, adults, the elderly and entrepreneurs. In addition, two special awards will be presented: Special Jury Award for the track record of Obra Social and Special Jury Award for the promotion of Financial Education.
